As a trooper exited the cruiser, Larkins sped away, heading north on Moore at more than 70 mph.

According to the jail records, he ran a stop sign, nearly striking two vehicles on Sherrick Road SE before he lost control, struck an embankment and then the pole.

Larkins was arrested at 4:42 p.m. Monday at Sherrick and Moore, and jailed on charges of willfully fleeing and eluding, failure to reinstate his driver's license, driving under suspension, failure to file taxes and failure to display a valid license plate or sticker.

He remained in the jail early Tuesday, held in lieu of $25,000 bond pending a Canton Municipal Court hearing.
